Background: Evidence-based models are needed to deliver exercise-related services for knee osteoarthritis efficiently and according to patient needs.
Purpose: To examine a stepped exercise program for patients with knee osteoarthritis (STEP-KOA).
Conclusion: Veterans in STEP-KOA reported modest improvements in knee osteoarthritis symptoms compared with the control group. The STEP-KOA strategy may be efficient for delivering exercise therapies for knee osteoarthritis.
